Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oil

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Aromatics and Seasonings

  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Vegetables and Beans

  • ½ chopped head cabbage
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 stalks chopped celery
  • 2 medium peeled and chopped carrots
  • 1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans, drained

Liquids

  • 3 ½ cups beef broth

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink.
  2. Add garlic and seasoning: Stir in 3 teaspoons of minced garlic along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 30 seconds to release the aroma of the garlic.
  3. Add vegetables and liquids: To the pot, add ½ chopped head of cabbage, 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 2 chopped celery stalks, 2 peeled and chopped medium carrots, 1 drained (16-ounce) can of kidney beans, 3 ½ cups of beef broth, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Stir everything well to combine.
  4. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
  5. Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the soup hot for a satisfying meal.
